Replacement

Rating: PG-13 for some snogging

Genre: Angst/Comfort/Romance

Summary: Angelina turns up at George's flat seeking answers and forgiveness.

Characters: George Weasley, Angelina Johnson

Pairings: George/Angelina, Fred/Angelina

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I just like to play with the characters!

A/N: I don't really like this one but was desperate to write this. I'd like to think both George and Angelina had a little trouble with their feelings for Fred before their relationship began. As I said, kinda crappy but has been spellchecked and read over but not beta'd as they are purely for my own entertainment.

Oh and thanks to ElleDreamer for another lovely review. You keep me writing, sweetie! xxx

This is dedicated to you!

George Weasley curled his hands around the lightly steaming cup of tea and stared at the women opposite him who was averting her gaze from him, her fingers picking distractedly at her red scarf.

"So," she said, hoarsely. "How have you been?"

She gingerly looked up to meet George's gaze. He just gazed at her, expressionless.

"Why are you here, Angelina?" he asked coldly.

She sighed, biting her lip.

"I missed you." She whimpered.

"Me or Fred?"

Her eyes dropped and she stared intently at her own tea, frowning at her reflection.

"I don't know." She said, truthfully. "I came here to figure that out."

She risked a glance; his brow was furrowed in confusion.

"I think..." She started. "I think I'm falling in love with you, George..." She closed her eyes, tightly, biting down harder on her lip. There was no answer so she took a deep breath and continued. "When we first started spending time together, after the war, I thought...well, I mean...you were..."

"I was a replacement." He said, bitterly.

"Yes." She said, quietly. "But then, George, I realised you weren't Fred, okay? You're more sensitive than him, you're not as loud, you control your anger better and I felt myself wishing I could see you more often and maybe even wanting to...kiss you." She took a chance and stared right into his eyes. To her surprise they didn't look angry or disbelieving they were very round and slightly wet.

Her heart clenched in sympathy.

"I feel guilty." She said. "Guilty that I didn't tell you sooner, guilty that I think I'm falling in love with my dead boyfriend's brother and I'm so, so, so sorry for what I did to you. I want you to know, George, that I don't want to replace Fred, I know no one could ever do that...but I thought maybe, we, you and me...could..." She trailed off, unsure what she was trying to say.

George sighed and rubbed his hands roughly over his face.

"I'm not going to pretend I wasn't hurt before." He replied. "Finding out a girl you thought maybe liked you is only spending time with you because you look like your brother is never a confidence boosting situation...But..."

Angelina hid a smile.

There was a pause as both stared in concentration at their cooling mugs of tea.

"So," she breathed. "You think maybe...we could make this work?"

George looked thoughtful for a second, then stood, bent over and pressed his lips gently to hers. She lifted her arms and tangled her fingers in his messy red hair, parting her lips, allowing him to deepen the kiss.

George moaned into her mouth, leaning over the table to rest his hands on her waist. Angelina pulled him forward breaking the kiss, there was one second of suspension as they stared at each other, eyes dark, breath heavy and then George lost his balance, as if in slow motion the two toppled over the small wooden table, sending it crashing to the floor.

There was a silence as the two lay in a heap on the floor before they burst out laughing.

He pulled himself off her, wiping the splatter of lukewarm tea off her cheek.

"I reckon," he said softly, pressing small kisses across her neck. "We could give it a bloody good shot."

Okays! Hiya

Just a little note here. Are you a lover of the Weasley Family? Want to see a ficlet on a particular one? Send me a note and I'd love to have a shot!

Downside is, I won't write graphic sex ('cos I can't) or non-canon couples (not because I don't like them-but because this is a canon fic) also I cannot guarantee you a ficlet, as I have school work and other such activities but ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Much love.
